Samantha Bee took a look at Steve Mnuchin, President-elect Donald
Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Treasury, on Wednesday's
episode of TBS's "Full Frontal."

Bee questioned the veracity of the president-elect's promise to
"drain the swamp" in government, given that Mnuchin is one
of five Goldman Sachs alums to be chosen for a Trump cabinet
position.

"Trump was lying," the host said. "As the saying goes, keep your
friends close and your friends that you called your enemies when
you were saying any f---ing thing to get elected closer."

The confirmation hearings for Mnuchin, who Bee said looks like
"Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver's evil twin, begin on
Thursday, so the host thought she should introduce the man to her
viewers. In addition to Goldman Sachs, Mnuchin bankrolled several
big movies, including "Avatar" and "Suicide Squad," which Bee
said is also her nickname for "working class people who voted for
Trump."

Unlike most Americans, Mnuchin made a great deal of money from
the "great recession of 2008" after founding OneWest
Bank (formerly IndyMac Bank) and Financial Freedom, which
provided reverse mortgages and allegedly preyed on retired
Americans. In fact, the company is being investigated by the government for
potentially illegal home foreclosure practices.

"That's how Mnuchin earned the nickname 'Foreclosure King,' not
to be confused with the cheapest bed at the Mattress Warehouse,"
Bee joked.

Mnuchin's bank is reportedly responsible for more than one-third
of all reverse mortgage foreclosures. Reverse mortgages suspend
payments for people over the age of 62 until their death. Their
families must then take over the mortgages or the homes are
foreclosed. They're referred to as "widow foreclosures" as many
of the victims are women who typically outlive their husbands.

"What do they do to you in jail when they find out you're a widow
forecloser?" Bee said. "Oh, right, nothing, because you
don't go to jail. You just sell the company, take a $380 million
profit, and get promoted to treasury secretary."
